How can teletherapy work? How can you provide care remotely?

Hi, I’m Afshin (pronounced of-sheen), a queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with teens, young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and neurodivergent clients who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, self-doubt, or the challenges of living in a world that often expects them to fit into narrow boxes. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge limiting stories, build practical coping skills, and create lives that feel more authentic and sustainable. Whether we're processing difficult emotions, exploring identity, or celebrating small victories, our work together is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful growth.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I have worked with diverse population from children to adults. I speak Spanish too.

My goal is to listen, understand, and collaborate with you to address your concerns and help you achieve your personal goals. Each of us has our own story and sources of pain, and together, we can explore the root causes of your challenges with care and curiosity. I aim to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to work toward deeper understanding and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I support clients in exploring the emotional patterns, life experiences, relationships, and stressors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or feeling stuck. Therapy is not about judging where you are; it is about helping you understand yourself more clearly and build healthier ways of coping, communicating, and healing.

You know something needs to change. Maybe you have carried a quiet sense for a while that something is not quite right. On the outside, you are capable and accomplished. On the inside, there may be anxiety, self-doubt, or a persistent feeling of not being good enough. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working with adults. I believe change is possible. Together, we clarify what is keeping you stuck and move in a focused, collaborative way toward a more confident, values-driven life. I specialize in working with thoughtful, driven adults who feel stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and depression. Using CBT, we look closely at the patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work in a focused, collaborative way to shift them, so you can move through life with more flexibility, confidence, self-trust, and joy. Clients often share that they feel understood, gently challenged, and supported in ways that make meaningful change feel possible. If you’re ready to take a thoughtful, steady look at what’s keeping you stuck, I invite you to reach out. We can begin working toward changes that feel real and lasting.

I specialize in supporting young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My clients often face the pressures of school, work, or early career challenges, and may feel overwhelmed by stress, uncertainty, or the expectations they place on themselves. Many are seeking guidance in understanding their emotions, building practical coping strategies, and creating a more balanced approach to everyday life. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me is about helping you better understand yourself while developing tools that actually make a difference in daily life. Together, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating healthier ways of responding to stress and overwhelming emotions. Therapy isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about building insight, skills, and confidence to navigate life in a healthier, more balanced way. I offer early morning and evening appointments to accommodate busy schedules, making therapy accessible for clients balancing school, work, and daily responsibilities. A free 20-minute consultation is available to explore how we can work together.
